Kerala CM misleading people over PM’s ‘positive’ response to rail project: BJP

A day after Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded positively to the Kerala semi-high-speed rail project, BJP Kerala leadership alleged that Vijayan was misleading the people.

Vijayan had called on the Prime Minister on Thursday seeking a nod for the rail project. He later told reporters that the PM’s response was positive and a favourable outcome was expected.

BJP Kerala president K Surendran said on Friday that Vijayan was trying to mislead the people by stating that the Prime Minister responded positively. The Prime Minister could have given a positive hearing as a courtesy. The centre did not give any nod or assurance on the project.
